    Ok, now that the language issues have been dealt with....
    Do you have a gm 10si alt? if so...
    You may need a diode installed in series on Terminal 1 this should be connected to a switched (ignition) feed. This terminal switches on the alternator when the ignition is switched on.
    The diode is necessary to prevent the alternator from feeding back into the ignition circuit and causing the car to continue to run when the ignition has been switched off by the key.

    There is more to this one than meets the eye. I think he is talking about flame throwers in his exhaust, so I have no idea what this distributor thing has to do with it.

    From the rambling and language, I think something more is going on here.
